Frederick is one of the fastest-growing communities in Maryland, but psychiatric care has not kept pace, and “the nearest opening is in three months” is a sentence too many residents know. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC brings care to you by secure telehealth, wherever in Frederick County you are.
Book a Telehealth Appointment →Frederick has doubled in size in a generation, drawing commuters who trade two hours a day on I-270 for a life they can afford, alongside Fort Detrick personnel, healthcare workers, and families who have been here for generations. Growth like that outruns infrastructure, and mental health care is where the gap shows most: Frederick County has a fraction of the psychiatric prescribers per capita that Montgomery County has.
The result is predictable. People wait months for an intake, drive to Rockville or Baltimore for a fifteen-minute med check, or simply give up and white-knuckle it. Telehealth was made for exactly this geography: the full practice, evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy, delivered over secure video to your living room in Urbana, Middletown, or downtown Frederick.
Commuter life itself carries a documented mental health cost: long drives correlate with higher anxiety and lower life satisfaction, and they consume exactly the time treatment would need. Removing the drive removes the biggest excuse. Maryland visits are self-pay, and new patients are typically seen within one to two weeks.
Ten hours a week in the car does things to sleep, mood, and family life. Appointments here do not add an eleventh.
Mission-driven jobs with real pressure and real stigma around seeking help. Care here is private and direct.
Full adult ADHD evaluations by telehealth, following the same careful two to three visit process as in-person care.
From new-to-Frederick isolation to years-old symptoms finally being addressed, treatment starts with one unhurried conversation.
Because untreated months are expensive in their own way. Video care delivers the same evaluations and prescriptions with none of the waitlist, and the evidence shows equal outcomes for depression, anxiety, and ADHD follow-up.
Visits work over any reasonable connection, including a phone on cellular data. If video ever fails mid-visit, you can rejoin on the same link rather than being rescheduled, and the office will call to help you reconnect so the appointment can be completed on video.
Yes. Licensure is statewide, so anywhere in Frederick County, or Maryland, works.
Not at this time. Maryland visits are self-pay: $400 for the initial evaluation and $200 for a 30-minute follow-up. Nothing is billed to insurance and no claim is filed. See Rates for details.
Secure telehealth countywide. No waitlist, no drive.
